I have a Q9300 at stock (2.5ghz) cooled by ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro in an Antec 900. I was wondering how high I would be able to OC it on air alone with stability.
 
Well you can find out by trying it since you have it already :)

But as always, YMMV with OCs no matter what. Your mobo, different steppings of your chip, the chip itself, your RAM will all play a part in how far you can push each chip. Just because someone else can hit 3.5ghz or whatever doesn't mean you can.
 
well I got Gskill 4 gig 800mhz and Asus P5Q Pro if that helps, I'm just sort of looking for a range. Also, is it less effective if I use something through windows like Clockgen? Because I kind of want to turn it down if I'm not running intensive programs.
